Did they smack the left strut tower with a hammer to lower the top leading edge to avoid it coming into conflict with a closed hood?

Especially the largest bump ( with the darkest green shadow, on the bottom edge of the pic ) shows it bulging out towards the left (outside) of the vehicle. Meaning the blow must have come from the top.

I just can't make up any other mechanism that could have produced these funny bumps, while still showing original spotwelds on the inner fenders.
It doesn't look to me as if it's been hit from the side to create those bumps.

I am wondering if it was crashed and that inner fender suffered damage. Based on the rest of the sheet metal work (floors), the body guys were not very skilled.
 
I have to chuckle when someone refers to this forum as the “e9 mafia” as was done in the comments. (I prefer “Cosa Nostra”) Wonder who they think “The Don” is?

5543054 was first delivered in Solingen, Germany. I did the presale inspection on that car as it was still in Holland at that time and even took a ride in it. It had a long list of issues and following my report, the prospective US buyer was able to acquire the car for an amount that that would make most of the CSL fans on this forum weep.
